Chapter 124 Is he really so extraordinary?
The Great Qi Dynasty's border, military camp.
Sixth Princess Song Yushu received an invitation from Su Xinyan, and she shook her head with a sigh.
"Ah, I really can't figure out what is so exceptionally outstanding about Xu Qingzhou that he can have both of them serve one husband."
Before, when she was in the Royal Capital, she had eaten with Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan and felt that Xu Qingzhou was a person of average talent, average background, although his appearance could be considered handsome and elegant.
But men like him, let alone in the Royal Capital, are a dime a dozen in many cities.
As for Su Xinyan, she rarely went out, was inexperienced and lacked worldly knowledge, so being tricked by him was understandable.
But Yu Shufei was different; Song Yushu had also interacted with Yu Shufei.
She felt that Yu Shufei was not only exceptionally intelligent but also experienced and must have met many outstanding people, so how could she, like that little social phobic Su Xinyan, fall for the same man?
This made it very difficult for Song Yushu to understand.
"Could it be that he really has some special, extraordinary quality?"
Song Yushu looked at the invitation in her hand. More than five years had passed since their last meeting. This time, Su Xinyan was getting married, and she definitely had to go.
…..
Yuhe City, City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Qingqiu had long since returned to Yuhe City from the Great Qi Academy. Before, she had thought that Song Bufan would find her after a while and that they would return to their previous state.
Unexpectedly, ever since chasing the Qingshan Three Bandits, Song Bufan had never spoken a word to her again, completely treating her as a stranger.
Without the cultivation resources provided by the simp Song Bufan, and unable to see the Ninth Prince she admired, Lu Qingqiu, whose cultivation had stagnated, could only choose to return home.
Today, Lu Chenlong happened to return from the Lingyue Sect, and their family sat together for a meal.
Just then, the Butler came to report.
"Master, an invitation sent from Lingyue City."
Lu Zhen picked up the invitation and took a look. Lu Qingqiu, who was beside him, also saw it and was a little surprised.
"Xu Qingzhou is getting married to Su Xinyan?"
Lu Qingqiu had always felt that Su Xinyan was blind, otherwise how could she fall for someone as ordinary as Xu Qingzhou.
She had thought that Su Xinyan was just playing around, but unexpectedly, they were actually getting married now.
Lu Zhen suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? There are two invitations."
The one on top was written with Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan, and the one below was written with Xu Qingzhou and Yu Shufei.
"This… is this real or fake?" Even the well-experienced Lu Zhen had never seen such a situation and was momentarily stunned.
"What's wrong?" The others asked out of curiosity.
Lu Zhen replied distractedly, "It's not just Su Xinyan marrying Xu Qingzhou, but also Yu Shufei."
"Who did you say?"
All the Xu Family members at the table widened their eyes, looking completely incredulous.
That was Yu Shufei! The daughter of the Wanbao Pavilion Master, a peerless beauty with countless suitors.
"This is impossible!"
Lu Qingqiu stepped forward, took the invitation, and looked closely; it really was Yu Shufei.
"This…"
She had thought that Su Xinyan falling for the ordinary Xu Qingzhou was already explosive and outrageous enough, but she didn't expect Yu Shufei to be the same.
Could it be that Xu Qingzhou was proficient in Gu techniques and had cast Gu on them?
Otherwise, it was really hard to understand how heavenly daughters like them could fall for Xu Qingzhou.
Lu Qingqiu said stubbornly, "Could this be fake? Or maybe it's someone with the same name?"
Lu Zhen glanced at her, "Whether it's real or fake, we'll know when we go and see."
Lu Zhen, who had seen countless people, clearly understood his daughter's thoughts at this moment.
Since she hadn't taken a liking to Xu Qingzhou back then, she wanted Xu Qingzhou to remain single forever. Only then could it prove that her decision back then was correct.
Once Xu Qingzhou found a more excellent partner, she couldn't accept it, wouldn't admit her own judgment, and would even think that others were blind.
…..
As time passed, the news of Xu Qingzhou's wedding had completely spread throughout the Great Qi Dynasty.
Originally, with the Xu Family's strength, something like the Clan Leader getting married wouldn't spread so far, but who made his two fiancées' identities and reputations so prominent?
As the wedding day drew nearer, powerhouses from many forces had already rushed to Lingyue City.
They were all friends of Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo. The Xu Family had only risen in the past few years and didn't have that many powerhouse friends.
Many others came to join the fun; they didn't believe that Xu Qingzhou was simultaneously marrying Su Xinyan and Yu Shufei.
But upon arriving in Lingyue City and inquiring, they basically all believed it.
These past few days, the Xu Family had been extremely busy. Even the usually idle Xu Qingzhou had a lot to do.
After a day of busyness, he had just returned to his courtyard when he found Su Xinyan chatting with someone, who was none other than the Sixth Princess Song Yushu, whom he had met a few years ago in the Royal Capital.
The people Su Xinyan would bring over for a private meeting were few and far between, and Song Yushu, who had a good relationship with her, was one of them.
Song Yushu held an important position in the military and was ordered to guard the border.
Although she had specifically returned to the Royal Capital first this time to request leave from the Ministry of War and the Qi Emperor, she still didn't want to expose her whereabouts and chose to come quietly.
Therefore, she was wearing a blue tight-fitting outfit similar to when they last met, with her long hair tied back, looking like a valiant female knight.
It was just that having held a high position in the military for a long time, she exuded considerable authority in her every gesture, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to meet her gaze.
"Your Highness, it's been a while," Xu Qingzhou said.
"Clan Leader Xu, you still look radiant," Song Yushu was startled when she saw him.
Because when they met in the Royal Capital last time, Xu Qingzhou was only in the Late Stage of the Xuandan realm, which was why she thought he was too ordinary.
But she didn't expect that after only a few years, he was already in the early stage of the Divine Soul realm, having caught up with her.
How did he Cultivate? So fast!!
Could it be that he was deliberately hiding his strength before? If so, it could be explained.
Just then, Little Grey, who had been sleeping in the house, ran out after hearing the movement.
Recently, the Xu Family had many people coming and going, so it had been staying in Xu Qingzhou's courtyard and couldn't run around freely.
Seeing it, Song Yushu was immediately shocked, "This… this demonic beast, why does it look so much like the ancient mythical beast Sun猊?"
Xu Qingzhou rubbed Little Grey's head and said nonchalantly, "Your Highness must have mistaken it; this is just a lion with horns."
Song Yushu gave an awkward smile. This demonic beast in front of her looked exactly like the Sun猊 she had seen in ancient texts; how could she be mistaken!
A fourth-rate force like the Xu Family actually possessing an ancient mythical beast? This truly exceeded Song Yushu's understanding.
"It seems I did underestimate him. How could someone favored by Yu Shufei be simple?"
